Twenty-one countries have jointly condemned Israel's recent approval of settlement expansion in the West Bank, calling the move 'unacceptable' and a clear violation of international law. The statement was signed by foreign ministers from a wide range of nations across Europe, North America, and Asia, as well as a senior official from the European Union. In response to the settlement decision, Britain summoned Israel's ambassador, Tzipi Hotovely, for discussions. The coordinated international response highlights growing concern over developments in the West Bank and signals increasing diplomatic pressure on Israel.
